    Hacking Chiip problem

    I accidentely swapped O and C connections... After fixing that, the chip worked with OpenWii firmware for about an hour of playing, now it refuses to take any backups at all, again. Can't help myself but I still think it has something to do with the I-wire which I had to solder directly to the...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    Yeah, I absolutely don't get it either... But I never heard of any backup disc. I thought the Chiip and OpenWii firmware are more or less the same, so the only thing I did was patching the region of spm with the region-patcher-tool. I'll look out for that disc, but I doubt that it would solve...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    Probably my last update, probably it's better that way... I resoldered every connection, checked every connection (all < 1 Ohm, if my multimeter works right), flashed everyone of my 3 ATMELs 3 times with 3 different firmwares and 2 different avr-softwares. And hey, there's a difference now! ->...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    What different point? The problem is, I ripped of the original point for "i". That's why I had to solder it directly to the drive chip. Haven't seen any alternative points, did you? If it's a cold solder, wouldn't it be impossible to work in the first place? Now that you mention it, the wire...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    Hmmm, I don't think it's the chip because I have 3 ATMELS here with 3 different version (beta 1 v5 (stable), v0.9.0 and v0.9.1) and it's the same with every chip. But on the other side, how possible is it for the "i"-wire (the one which is soldered directly to the drive-chip) to get disconnected...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    To make it complete: Today I spent again some time on resoldering the chip. I eventually got it running, but while playing Super Paper Mario, the led started to blink again... any clues what could be the problem, or how to fix it? Don't know what to do anymore... new ide-cable-soldering:

    Hacking Chiip problem

    OK I'm almost done now - in the way of being pissed off of that damn chiip!!! First thing I did was resoldering all cables and shorten them, so that they didn't come out of the wii anymore. Instead, the chiip is now inside. That worked for about... hmm... 2 hours(?), when the chiip startet...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    Thanks for the quick replies! My job is something like "radio-tv-engineer" (don't know the english name for it...), so my soldering skills should be ok I guess BUT now that you mentioned it, I only checked the connection with that beep-thing (know what I mean??) on a multimeter - I totally...

    Hacking Chiip problem

    Hi everyone! After a few starting problems (like ripping off a soldering point), I finally got the Chiip (v5 beta , the "stable" one) running. I tested The Godfather, took my Wii into the living room and invited some friends. We played The Godfather for about an hour and eventually the chiip's...

    the L hdmi adapters work great on my tv and receiver. so much less stress on the ports using them than regular cables. in that instance anyway.

    @RedColoredStars, I also listen to Beck, some of their songs are fine. Only found out about them through Windows Me; you know, that one operating system nobody ever likes?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.

    @RedColoredStars, I hate that too where you have to use an HDMI extension for an Amazon Fire Stick.
